CLOSED EYES YET NOT THE HEART
Close your eyes
See the reality
The realism
All is possible
Dreams are made of
Closed eyes
And an open heart
For what you see
With eyes closed is not
Really there to see touch but feel
And the only way you kin do that is with the heart
Mind body and soul are one
But the heart knows all
Feeling is believe in
Seenin is to touch
Close your eyes
Feel the rain
The heart knows it wet
Take reality at its best no other way
Can you feel the realness of any given thing
Fell is to touch
See is to idolize admire
Adore glorify with honors of
Seein is bevelin they say
Yet the heart
Can not always grasp
Feastin is a necessary thing
You have to but taste life s givin
Before you can feel the rain on your skin
Even smell its commin of
Hearin the birds sing
Their sweet love song beauty it be
Can you close your eyes and not you heart and just be

You can close your eyes
Hoping not to see
But, your heart will always feel and be
As touched, felt always within believe

We are doing Triplet Monorhyme Triplets on trhe Friday Fling this week, to discuss conventions past, present and imaginary. But since this example I wrote tonight for the Fling intro relates importantly to remembering, and that is part of tonight’s TAT theme (as well as, I suspect the fact that few seem to ever read the dry prose in my intros very closely LOL) , I’m sharing it here.
CONVENTIONAL WISDOM
It was never my intention
to attend that convention.
I knew ‘twould create tension.
I expect a poor reaction
to my use of a contraction
like “‘twould;” just a distraction.
The truth is I can’t remember
whether it was in September
or later, in December.
In fact I can’t recall
anything at all.
This poem was just a stall.
Had this stanza been the leading,
this warning you could be heeding:
you’re wasting your time reading.

Helping Hearts See
When eyes are closed
what does the heart see?
What rightness of feeling
averts human tragedy?
The joy of the feeling
may not be
ensconced in experiences
on fringes of society.
Some souls are heart-blind.
They may have no choice.
No poetry in their lives
gave kindness a voice.
And some lucky souls are epiphanies.
In a kinder world they help us see.
The love and compassion that set their hearts free,
can we spread it to those who less fortunate be?

Wow a deep, compassionate write Tony! 😀
No poetry in their lives
gave kindness a voice.
Naturally we tend to believe such on the CPC!
Feelings so eloquently and wonderfully expressed. Beautiful blog and theme! :love: :love: :love:
